Dear OORT Family,
Computecoin is now OORT. We are proud to announce our new name, which starts a new chapter as we continuously scale up.
To the bound of civilization and beyond,
Team at OORT
Started in a research lab in 2018 and went online as a project in 2021, Computecoin is a Web3 data infrastructure for simple and massive adoption.
In the two years that we were named Computecoin, we’re proud to say that we accomplished many things with the help of not only members of our team but our community members as well.
Computecoin’s first testnet, Dome-A, has successfully concluded as of this month, with our testnet II, Huygens, still ongoing. We developed a set of in-house developing tools and became open-sourced with a hackathon and a bounty program in progress. We built a community of a total of 130k members across more than 30 countries, who built several impressive dApps on our blockchain. Computecoin also left its footprints in numerous online and in-person events worldwide.
We will keep updating our visuals, documentation, and social media handles during this rebranding process. We apologize for any potential confusion and inconvenience.
This rebrand will not affect your digital assets in Ale Wallet. The test token $CCN’s name will remain the same.
This rebrand will not affect current Huygens miners. Please continue mining as usual.
Now is the time to move forward and onward.
Our new name, OORT, is taken from Oort Cloud, the theoretical edge of our solar system and human civilization.
The outer edge of Oort Cloud represents the gravitational boundary of the Solar System, at anything up to two or three light-years, and possibly even more.
OORT is a continuation of Computecoin that operates with the same vision: to build the cornerstone of Web3. Featuring a user-centric design, OORT offers full-service decentralized data solutions that developers and users can quickly master without knowing a thing about Web3.
With a more specific positioning and product-oriented strategy, OORT aims to onboard billions of Web2 users to Web3 applications and services. At OORT, we strive to challenge ourselves and others to create new values that push the boundaries of the next age of the internet. We envision a future where Web3 is widely adopted and used by everyone. We are committed to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in order to make this vision a reality.
One of the biggest challenges faced by decentralized storage service providers is scalability in terms of the number of users. Other issues that stem from scalability include latency, reliability, and the lack of common features like fast file indexing.
As decentralized storage service providers struggle to meet the industry standards of scalability needs, it’s difficult for them to compete with traditional, centralized services. Our job at OORT is to solve all these problems centering on scalability.
OORT integrates a variety of storage solutions, be it private cloud, data centers, or decentralized clouds like Arweave and Storj. We gather their storage space and bandwidth so that a vast amount of hardware resources is ready to be dispatched. By integrating them all, OORT’s flagship product, OORT Storage, can provide cross-network storage with enhanced data security while avoiding liabilities caused by singular network failures.
After a file is uploaded and encrypted via OORT Storage, OORT’s unique algorithm optimizes the storage resources aggregated and stores the file in the best way possible. Our algorithm monitors individual networks’ availability and determines the most optimized way to utilize the storage resources.
OORT provides its in-house OORT Edge that allows developers to scale applications and Web3 dApps easily. OORT Edge enables fast file indexing and offers faster content delivery speed, terminal encryption, data preprocessing, and data analysis.
